Halloween Encore

halloween-022

So every year since college I try to carve a pumpkin for Halloween.  Dale can attest to this.  Usually I end up not getting a pumpkin at all but on the years that I do it usually doesn’t get carved, ends up rotting and we eventually throw it away.  This year I was determined.  We bought the pumpkin a few weeks before but once again Halloween came and went and the pumpkin was left uncarved.  Not this year!  I am taking a stand and saying no to uncarved pumpkins.  Why is it we have to succumb to Halloween’s time frame.  This year I decided to make Halloween conform to our schedule and the following Friday we dressed lottie up in her kitty outfit that grandma Laura made her and set to work on our Jack-O-Lantern.  I held Lottie and supervised Dale’s work.  (isn’t that how its suppose to work?)

I don’t think the spoon survived.

Lottie wasn’t sure what to do with the guts.

I drew the face and Dale set to work carving.
